Jimmy has on one of Evangel's former pastors, Larry Lorentz. It was so good to hear about the legacy of Evangel and the things that have happened here long before our time.
Bethel  Some great questions to ask:  What is the overall fruit? Are your critiques based out of fear? Do your biblical and theological beliefs line up with what you’ve seen in and around your life? If not, your beliefs might be the issue. Have you seen things with your own eyes, or are you basing your views on hearsay? Does the charismatic movement make you uncomfortable? And if so, how would you respond if you were placed in the New Testament context? Does your theology have room for “I don’t know”? If not, how big is your God?
This is a Spicy episode. Jimmy, Logan and Vadim talk about how the lack of character will stunt your growth. But not only that, it stops what the Lord wants to do in and through you. 
We are excited for you to listen to this episode with Bob and Val Zimmer. Bob is our Member of Parliament for our region, and he, along with his wife, is deeply devoted to Jesus and bringing change to Canada.
Jimmy, Vadim, and Logan sit down to talk about the real dangers of chasing after every conspiracy. When we try to piece together a “bigger story” using only our natural eyes, we can end up distracted, fearful, and even misled. But the truth is, there is a bigger story—and it’s not hidden in theories or speculation. The better way is to look with our spiritual eyes. When we do, we see that the bigger picture is actually a spiritual reality, one where God is at work and truth brings freedom. Instead of being pulled into endless conspiracies, we’re invited to anchor ourselves in faith and see the world through God’s perspective.

Jimmy, Vadim, and Logan dive into a conversation about Charlie Kirk and the importance of discerning the times we’re living in. Like the sons of Issachar, we are called to understand the season and the moment God has placed us in—otherwise, we risk missing it.

This past weekend Tiana was in Drayton Valley, AB for the Dr. Rodney Howard-Browne revival meetings. Over 9,400 people gathered together, hungry for the presence of God—and He moved in a powerful way! Lives were touched, hearts were set on fire, and the atmosphere was charged with faith and expectation. Moments like these remind us that revival isn’t just about the numbers—it’s about people encountering Jesus. And if we truly want to see Him move in our lives, our families, our churches, and our cities, we need to stay postured toward Him.
Jimmy and Louw Ronquest discuss the importance of running and completing the race that we are called to run.
Jimmy sits down with Amanda Pezzini from Brazil and Sarah Bashaw from Colombia to share their journeys of faith. Both women open up about the challenges and struggles they had to walk through in order to step fully into the calling God placed on their lives. Their stories are a reminder that even in the midst of difficulty, God is faithful. Don’t give up—cling closely to Jesus, and trust that He will see you through.
